A little unfair on Labo since it's only had a week in sales. It still isn't the greatest start but, like a few have stated, it will probably pick up again for the holiday.

It won't really pick up for the holiday if it's kind of a failure until then.

 

Kids want what is popular at the moment. If nobody cares about Labo in a few months, I don't see why a kid would wake up one day and say "Hey, now I want a Nintendo Labo!". The go-to gift will most likely be some new thing their friends are talking about at school or something like that. 

Yeah I also don't get the "wait till holiday attitude". Kids have a short attention span, how is Labo going to be the "in thing" in 7 months time, if the vast majority of it's sales are going to come from holiday sales to children, that's when it should have launched.

In the meantime Labo is going to be absolutely forgotten.
